Today the word comes down that Nike Invests In A Wind Farm, signing a contract with Avangrid Renewables to invest in 86 megawatts of its Texas-based wind power. Hannah Jones, Chief Sustainability Officer and VP of the Innovation Accelerator for Nike spoke about the move.

She stated: “This agreement enables us to source 100 percent renewable energy across our owned or operated facilities in North America.” She went on to add “Investing in renewable energy is good for athletes, the planet and for business.” This certainly opens a new door for Nike, allowing for the creation of jobs while also advancing independent energy for the United States.

Nike’s power agreement is comparable to powering over 400,000 average American households; impressive. Speak your mind on the news below and give us your thoughts.
